bold steps.
Through Ewing Kauffmans example, we see that one individual, with vision and purpose, can change a community...a nation... the world. From his Marion Laboratories and the dozens of entrepreneurial companies it fostered, to the Kansas City Royals he brought to the community, to his enduring gift in the foundation that bears his name, Mr. Kauffman has touched countless lives in countless ways. His legacy, and that of Muriel and Julia Kauffmans, inspires us to challenge the status quo, take a risk, persevere, and achieve our big dreams. Bravo to the Kauffmans, and to all those who will follow their example and take the next bold steps.

Our opening, new production of next season, The Capulets and the Montagues, by the Italian romantic composer Vincenzo Bellini, has never been presented in Kansas City. Our dramatic concept will introduce you to the expanded boundaries of contemporary, operatic presentation. The theme of forbidden love attempting to bridge the chasm of interfamily enmity remains as current today as ever, and we seek to show that the operatic art form can reflect and provide a viewpoint of contemporary conditions on the operatic stage. Our second new production next season, Die Fledermaus, will present the glories of old Vienna in all its traditional, opulent elegance. Although my year as a young music student in Vienna did not include participation in the venerated social ritual of Ball season, I came to love the glorious waltzes and other dance pieces that form its backbone, and I deeply admire that incomparable musics most famous creator, Johann Strauss, Jr. Opera remains for us a living, breathing life form, enjoyed and appreciated by a broad cross section of people. We share your enthusiasm for what it has been, is, and can be in the future, and we want you to join us as we follow our mission to present the best work to you, our beloved audience.

As the town celebrates this news, an infuriated Katisha appears to claim that Nanki-Poo is rightfully betrothed to her. The townspeople refuse to hear her and she is drowned out by the crowds shouting. She swears revenge. Act II While preparing for her wedding, Yum-Yums friends remind her of Nanki-Poos impending execution. The groom arrives to find Yum-Yum in tears, and tries to cheer her up. Ko-Ko enters with unhappy news: the Mikados law decrees that when a husband is beheaded for flirting, his wife must be buried alive. Yum-Yum refuses to marry under these conditions, and Nanki-Poo implores Ko-Ko to execute him on the spot. The Mikado is expected to arrive at any moment. Unable to perform the violent act, Ko-Ko decides to produce a false affidavit acknowledging the execution. Nanki-Poo and Yum-Yum are secretly rushed out of town. When the Mikado and Katisha arrive, Ko-Ko, Pitti-Sing and Pooh-Bah describe the execution in elaborate detail. However, the Mikado has only come in search of his son. Katisha sees Nanki-Poos name on the death certificate, and the Mikado, though understanding, insists that the three conspirators must be punished for their part in his death. The only solution to save these three is for Nanki-Poo to return and reveal the conspiracy. He fears that Katisha will insist on his execution, and proposes that Ko-Ko attempt to woo and marry Katisha himself. In the face of certain and painful death, Ko-Ko agrees. He finds Katisha, still angry and now devastated by news of Nanki-Poos death, and begs for mercy. He confesses harboring passionate feelings for her, and she soon accepts his proposal. Katisha entreats the Mikado to take mercy on her new husband and his conspirators. Nanki-Poo and Yum-Yum make their reappearance, much to the shock of Katisha and the Mikado. Ko-Ko quickly explains that as the Mikados word is law, it is reasonable to claim a man condemned to death as dead already. The Mikado is satisfied and the town celebrates with song and dance.
